2 Check that the supply voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the nameplate of the machine. Check the conditions of the wires and the presence of the ground conductor. Ensure that the machine is connected to a standard 110 volt x 30 amp outlet. Connect the power supply cable to the plug with great care and following to the current regulations. WHEN THE MACHINE IS TURNED OFF FOR A LONG TIME IT IS NECESSARY TO DISCONNECT THE POWER PLUG TO AVOID USE BY UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL. 2.INSTALLATION 2.1 Installation Area To install the machine you need a useful space calculated on the basis of the information given in the figure below. From the working position, the user must be able to view the machine and the surrounding area. INSTALLATION AREA MUST BE KEPT CLEAR OF POSSIBLE DANGEROUS OBJECTS. UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL MUST NOT STAND NEAR THE WORKING AND/OR INSTALLATION AREA. THE MACHINE MUST BE PLACED ON A FLAT, LEVEL, DURABLE SURFACE THAT CAN ENDURE THE STRESS OF OPERATING THE MACHINE. THE MACHINE MUST BE FIXED ON THE FLOOR WITH SCREWS AND EXPANSION PLUGS. Note: Distance Shown Is In Millimeters DO NOT USE THIS MACHINE IN AREAS WHERE FLAMABLE VAPORS ARE PRESENT. 3.SUSPENSION OF THE USE In case the machine is not used for a long time, disconnect the power supply and protect all parts that could be damaged by dust. Grease all parts that could be damaged in case of oxidation. In this specific case, protect the shaft and flange 4.ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OF THE WHEEL BALANCER Keep the machine and work area clean. Please note: K&L declines all responsibility in the event of claims resulting from the use of non-original parts or accessories. Do not remove or modify any part of the machine (except for service items). Unplug the machine from the socket and make sure that all moving parts have been locked before performing any adjustment or maintenance. Never use compressed air and/or jets of water to remove dirt or residues from the machine. Take all possible measures to prevent dust from building up or rising during cleaning operations. Keep the wheel balancer shaft, the securing ring nut, the centering cones and flange clean. These components can be cleaned using a brush previously dripped in environmentally friendly solvents. Handle cones and flanges carefully so as to avoid accidental dropping and subsequent damage that would affect accuracy. After use, store cones and flanges in a place where they are suitably protected from dust and dirt. If necessary, use ethyl alcohol to clean the display panel. Perform the calibration procedure at least once every six months.

4 6. Keyboard For your convenience, the keys in this manual are numbered from [P1] to [P10] as shown in Figure F6.1. Next to the reference numbers of the keys, there are icons of the keys themselves for easy reading. The ten buttons have a main function indicated by a symbol in the large circle, and a secondary function indicated by a small icon located nearby. Some of the secondary functions feature an LED to indicate their activation. The keys [P7], [P8], and [P10] do not have a secondary function. The secondary function of the keys is identified in this manual with the codes from [F+P1] to [F+P9] as shown in Figure F6.2. To enter the secondary function of a key, press the [P7] then, by holding it down, press one of the keys for which a secondary function is desired; then release both keys.

Press the Diameter key [P3]. The screen should read CAL 1. c. If it reads ERROR, spin the wheel 180 degrees until the opposite clamping arm is at the 12 o clock position. Press the diameter key again. The screen should now read CAL 1. d. When the screen reads CAL 1, the arm at the top will be the calibration arm. Mark this for future reference. 14 Re-spin the wheel clock wise until all displays light up and it beeps. Wait until the screen reads H12 CAL. Use the brake to stop the wheel. 15 Rotate the Calibration Arm to the 12 o clock position. Add the calibration weight to the left side of arm with the weight close to the clamping arm assembly as shown. 16 Re-spin the wheel clock wise until all displays light up and it beeps. Wait until the screen reads CAL H12. Use the brake to stop the wheel. 17 Rotate the Calibration Arm to the 12 o clock position. Add the calibration weight to the right side of arm with the weight facing away from the clamping arm assembly as shown. 18 Re-spin the wheel clock wise until all displays light up and it beeps. Wait until the right side screen reads 50. Press the brake to stop the wheel. 19 Your unit is now calibrated for motorcycle wheel balancing.
